Slowly but surely, Samsung has been pushing ICS to several devices in the Galaxy Tab series, and it looks like today's the day for the Wi-Fi (GT-P7510) in the UK and the 3G version (GT-P7500) in Italy. The long-awaited update brings not only Android 4.0, but also an updated version of Touchwiz UX that's quite similar to the newest Tab 2 series.

We expect that the update should become available in other parts of the world quite soon, but there's no official word as to when that will happen.

Looking to buy someone a new tablet for the holidays, but don't want to drop five or six Benjamins on the deal? No worries, Daily Steals has your back, offering the Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB for a mere $340 sans shipping.

Not that you need a refresher on the specs, but here they are anyway:

10.1 1280x800 display

1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor

1GB RAM

16GB built-in storage

3MP rear shooter, 2MP 'round front

Android 3.2 with TouchWiz UX

This is a seriously good deal on a beast of a tablet - hit the link below to grab one!

Update x2: The update is back on, and this time it shouldn't break anything. If you didn't pull it the first go around, you can go ahead and grab it in typical OTA fashion. If, however, you ended up with a Wi-Fi-less tablet after the initial update, you'll need to use the Kies desktop application to pull the the fix. [AC]

Here's the official word from Papa Sammy:

Earlier this morning, Samsung began releasing an over the air software update allowing Galaxy 10.1 users to upgrade to Android 3.2 while also resolving a Wi-Fi connectivity issues some Galaxy 10.1 users experienced following a previous software update.

While we've seen the newest iteration of Android show its stuff on the phone, we've yet to see what the experience will be like on a tablet. That's all about to change, though, because Cyanogen himself posted the following on his Google+:

ICS on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is pretty great. Coming soon to a CM mirror near you :)

I, for one, am giddy with excitement about this; I've been looking forward to ICS on my Tab 10.1 for a while now.

I have a confession to make: I'm incredibly jealous of Transformer owners. Not because of the tablet itself, but the super-sick laptop dock. Don't get me wrong -- I love the tablet, too, but that dock just does it for me. It's functional, useful, and brings things to the Transformer that I can only wish my Galaxy Tab 10.1 had.

All bonuses aside, one of the core features of the Transformer's dock is, of course, the keyboard.

Before we get rolling with this review, I want to get one thing out in the open: I don't like cases. On any of my devices. They add bulk, restrict access to certain elements of the hardware (in some situations), and are just all around inconvenient. Honestly -- what's the point of having one of the thinnest tablets (or phones) on the planet just so you can fatten it up with a case?

With the arrival of Honeycomb 3.1 came some really nice features, including one of the most useful to date: USB host support. This allows users to plug thumb drives, external hard drives, mice, keyboards, and more into their tablets and use them with little-to-no hassle.

Out of the many uses for USB host support, adding a game controller to your tablet is a simple way to have more fun with your device -- it improves the experience with a lot of games, especially if, like me, you hate touchscreen controls.

If you've been waiting for the pricetag on the ultra-sleek Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to hit sub-$400 before picking one up, then your waiting ends now -- Daily Steals is offering 16GB models for a mere $350 (it's worth noting that these are refurbished units, though).

The Tab 10.1 packs a punch under the hood, with specs that rival (and in some cases, best) all the current Honeycomb tablets on the market:

10.1-inch 1280x800 LCD

1GHz dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor

1GB RAM

16GB storage

Android 3.1 with TouchWiz

This deal ends at 8:00PM PST, so if you plan on taking advantage of it you better hurry and make it happen!

Early last month, a German court halted the sale and distribution of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 due to a suit filled against Samsung by Apple. Naturally, Sammy appealed the injunction, but the court has upheld the ban on Tab 10.1 sales, citing that "Apple’s minimalistic design isn’t the only technical solution to make a tablet computer, other designs are possible."

This comes as yet another blow against Samsung, as it has already had to halt sales of the Tab 10.1 in a few other countries, as well as pull its Galaxy Tab 7.7 showcase from the IFA conference last week.
